METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PROPAGATING A STOPPING CONDITION IN A DISTRIBUTED MULTIPLE-PRODUCER, MULTIPLE-CONSUMER SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17819923 titled 'METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PROPAGATING A STOPPING CONDITION IN A DISTRIBUTED MULTIPLE-PRODUCER, MULTIPLE-CONSUMER SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes methods and systems for propagating a stopping condition through a multiple-producer, multiple-consumer distributed system.
- Determining the number of active processes in a process layer
- Determining when a stopping condition is satisfied
- Generating a sentinel in a source queue
- Receiving a processing task at a process
- Determining if the processing task is a sentinel
- Terminating the first process
- Decrementing the number of active processes by one
- Generating the sentinel in a destination queue
---

Original Abstract Submitted
Methods and systems for propagating a stopping condition through a multiple-producer, multiple-consumer distributed system. The method includes determining the number of active processes in a process layer, determining that a stopping condition is satisfied, generating a sentinel in a source queue, receiving a processing task at a process, determining whether the processing task is a sentinel, terminating the first process, decrementing the number of active processes by one, and generating the sentinel in a destination queue.
